​June's Podcast: Atomic Habits - an episode with If Books Could Kill

​​📊  The people have spoken!

​I knew that I wanted to speak about James Clear's book Atomic Habits in June, and created a poll on LI to either hear from the guy himself or two people "debunking" the book.

​And the winner with 69% of the votes is... debunking!

​Atomic Habits - an episode with If Books Could Kill Michael Hobbes and Peter Shamshiri (click the link to open in Spotify... or feel free to search for this episode wherever you listen to podcasts). Hosted by your Business Mindset Coach Annie Bell.

​Michael and Peter discuss what they found helpful and what they found (very) unhelpful. Be warned: there's more swearing than our usual podcast selections (and they talk about cursing as a habit that they actively don't want to break in the episode tehe).

​​We'll explore questions like:

​🕵️ ​If you need to change your identity to start a new habit, and you need to be doing the habit for it to be part of your identity - where do we start?!

​🤔 What is the difference between habits, behaviour and goals?

​🐶 Does using behavioural therapy feel like you're training yourself like a dog?

​📂 Is being productive a function of your system or your personality?

​💍 Are we moving towards One Self Help Book To Rule Them All?

​​Let's critique this critique!

​PS: if you aren't familiar with the book and want to hear more from James Clear himself, then I'd really recommend this interview episode with him.
